Change the permission of a non-modify cloth

[Wondergirl216]

Hi everyone, merry Christmas. I got some issues today. I bought a costume in marketplace yesterday, it said it can be modify. But once I open the box, and find it's non-modify. I tried to contact the seller, but she hasn't online for a while. Can anyone help me ?

Maybe there is a hud to modify it? Or if the costume is scripted? The costume might contain a no-modify item inside it.

Often things appear to be no-modify in your inventory, but they actually are modify when rezzed or worn. This is because the scripts they contain are no-mod.

Also bear in mind that rigged mesh items cannot be re-sized even if they are mod. You can colour-tint them or change the textures using the viewer's Edit window, but you can't modify their size or position.

Some sellers think that "modify" means "includes a texture-change/colour-tint/resize hud". Whilst that's not strictly true, the huds do the same job, so check if there are any huds in the package.

If there is no hud, and the item can't be colour-tinted, then it's truly no-mod, and sadly this means that the marketplace description was wrong. Your only recourse here is to hope that the seller contacts you back, but if they have left SL, or if they choose to ignore you, there is no other option except to write off your loss and purchase from another seller instead.

Exactly. Odds are that's it. Very common.

You can also report a listing that claims to be modify but is not, as false advertising. The lindens usually remove them if not too busy.

And flag the product as "not as advertised" because wrong permissions is a no-no.
